At this time, the alarm device sends an alarm signal to remind the medical staff to pay attention, thereby achieving the effect of preventing choking.
[0033] The mental patient anti-choking device provided by the utility model will be described below. Figures 1 to 4 The mental patient anti-choking device provided by the utility model will be described below.
[0034] An embodiment of this utility model provides a choking prevention device for psychiatric patients, including a human positioning component, a plate component, and an alarm component.
[0035] The human body positioning component includes a seat 100 and a restraint strap 200. The restraint strap 200 is disposed on the backrest 130 of the seat 100 and is used to fix the upper body of the human body to the backrest 130.
[0036] Specifically, the chair 100 may include a seat 110, support legs 120, and a backrest 130. The support legs 120 are located at the bottom of the seat 110 to support the seat 110, and the backrest 130 is located at the top rear side of the seat 110 to support the human back. A restraint strap 200 is provided on the backrest 130 to secure the upper body of the human to the backrest 130, so that the patient maintains a correct eating posture and prevents choking due to incorrect eating posture.
[0037] The plate assembly includes a support and a plate 310. The support is connected to the seat 100, and the plate 310 is slidably connected to the support in the up-down direction. The support is at least used to support the plate 310 above the front side of the seat surface 110 of the seat 100.
[0038] Specifically, the tray assembly includes a support and a tray 310. The bottom end of the support can be connected to the left side of the seat 110 of the chair 100, and the top end of the support is suspended above the top front side of the seat 110 of the chair 100. The tray 310 is positioned on top of the support, so that the support can support the tray 310 above the front side of the seat 110, making it convenient for the patient to sit in the chair 100 and eat.
[0039] The alarm component includes a force sensor and an alarm device. The force sensor is located between the bottom of the plate 310 and the top of the support. The force sensor is used to monitor the weight or pressure of the plate 310. The force sensor is connected in communication with the alarm device. When the change in the data monitored by the force sensor exceeds a preset range within a preset time period, the alarm device issues an alarm signal.
[0040] Specifically, the force sensor can be a load cell 400 or a pressure sensor, and the alarm device can include a buzzer 620. Taking the load cell 400 as an example, the load cell 400 is located between the bottom of the plate 310 and the top surface of the support. Since the plate 310 is slidably connected to the support and the sliding direction is vertical, the entire weight of the plate 310 can be placed on the load cell 400.
[0041] During the patient's eating process, if the force sensor detects that the weight difference between two consecutive measurements exceeds the preset range within a preset time, it indicates that the patient is eating too fast and there is a risk of choking. At this time, the buzzer 620 will sound an alarm to remind medical staff to react in time to avoid choking.
[0042] This utility model provides a choking prevention device for psychiatric patients. When organizing meals for psychiatric patients, the patient can sit in a chair 100 and be secured in place with a restraint strap 200 to prevent choking due to incorrect posture during meals. A weighing sensor 400 is installed between the support and the plate 310. When the weighing sensor 400 detects a sudden and significant change in the weight of the plate 310, it determines that the patient is eating too quickly and is at risk of choking. The weighing sensor 400 transmits this information to a buzzer 620 via its built-in wireless signal transmission module, triggering an alarm. At this point, nursing staff can accurately and promptly take preventative measures to avoid choking.
[0043] In some embodiments, the restraint strap 200 can be designed to be adjustable in length, depending on the patient's body size. Specifically, the restraint strap 200 may include two segments, one end of which is connected to the left side of the chair back 130, and the other end of which is connected to the right side of the chair back 130. A length adjustment buckle 210 is provided between the two segments of the restraint strap 200 to achieve the effect of connecting the two segments of the restraint strap 200 into one restraint strap 200, and to adjust the length of the restraint strap 200 to accommodate patients with different body sizes, preventing the restraint from being too loose or too tight.
[0044] In some embodiments, the bracket includes a frame and a lifting mechanism 320. The bottom end of the lifting mechanism 320 is connected to the left front end or right front end of the seat surface 110 of the seat 100. The frame is connected to the top end of the lifting mechanism 320. The plate 310 is disposed on the top of the frame and is slidably connected to the frame.
[0045] Specifically, the support includes a frame and a lifting mechanism 320. The bottom end of the lifting mechanism 320 can be directly connected to the left front end of the seat surface 110 of the seat 100, or it can be connected to the left front end of the seat surface 110 through an extension arm. That is, the right end of the extension arm is connected to the left front end of the seat surface 110, and the left end of the extension arm extends horizontally to the left. The bottom end of the lifting mechanism 320 is connected to the left end of the extension arm.
[0046] The frame is located at the top of the lifting mechanism 320, and its height can be changed as the lifting mechanism 320 extends and retracts. The tray 310 is located at the top of the frame and can move up and down with the frame to accommodate patients with different leg circumferences.
[0047] Furthermore, it also includes a horizontal moving mechanism 330, which is disposed between the seat 100 and the lifting mechanism 320, and moves in the left-right direction.
[0048] Specifically, the right end of the horizontal moving mechanism 330 can be connected to the left front end of the seat 110, the moving end of the horizontal moving mechanism 330 extends horizontally to the left, and the bottom end of the lifting mechanism 320 is connected to the left end of the horizontal moving mechanism 330.
[0049] Thus, the horizontal moving mechanism 330 can change the position of the plate 310 in the left and right directions, and the lifting mechanism 320 can change the height of the plate 310 to accommodate patients of different body shapes.
[0050] Furthermore, the top of the lifting mechanism 320 can be rotatably connected to the frame, and the axis of rotation can be parallel to the extension and retraction direction of the lifting mechanism 320.
[0051] Thus, before the patient needs to sit on the seat 100, the frame can be rotated to an area beyond the seat 110, making it easier for the patient to sit on the seat 100. After the patient is seated, the frame can be rotated again to an area above the seat 110, making it easier for the patient to eat.
[0052] In some embodiments, the frame includes a vertical connecting plate 341 and a horizontal support plate 342. One side of the horizontal support plate 342 is connected to the bottom of the vertical connecting plate 341. One side of the plate 310 is slidably connected to the vertical surface of the vertical connecting plate 341 near the horizontal support plate 342. The top of the lifting mechanism 320 is connected to the vertical connecting plate 341 or the horizontal support plate 342.
[0053] Specifically, taking the frame connected to the left side of the seat 100 via the lifting mechanism 320 and the frame in the eating position as an example, the left side of the horizontal support plate 342 is connected to the bottom end of the vertical connecting plate 341. The left side of the plate 310 can be slidably connected to the right side of the vertical connecting plate 341, with the sliding direction along the vertical direction. The top of the lifting mechanism 320 can be connected to either the vertical connecting plate 341 or the horizontal support plate 342.
[0054] The plate 310 is slidably connected to the vertical connecting plate 341, so that the plate 310 can only slide freely in the up and down direction, restricting other degrees of freedom. In this way, the weight of the plate 310 can be applied to the force sensor, and the plate 310 can be prevented from being knocked over by the patient while eating.
[0055] In some embodiments, the vertical connecting plate 341 is provided with at least two sliding grooves 343 on the vertical surface near the horizontal support plate 342. Each sliding groove 343 extends in the vertical direction, and the multiple sliding grooves 343 are distributed in the front-back direction. The side of the plate 310 connected to the vertical connecting plate 341 is provided with a slider that slides in cooperation with the sliding groove 343. The slider can only slide freely relative to the sliding groove 343 in the extension direction of the sliding groove 343.
[0056] Specifically, two sliding grooves 343 can be provided on the right side of the vertical connecting plate 341. The two sliding grooves 343 are arranged in the front-to-back direction and both extend vertically. The sliding grooves 343 can be dovetail grooves or convex grooves. Correspondingly, two sliders corresponding to the sliding grooves 343 can be provided on the left side of the plate 310. The shape of the sliders matches the shape of the sliding grooves 343, and the two can be in a clearance fit, allowing the plate 310 to slide freely relative to the vertical connecting plate 341.
[0057] In some embodiments, both the lifting mechanism 320 and the horizontal moving mechanism 330 may include a cylinder 321 and a sliding rod 322. One end of the sliding rod 322 passes through the cylinder 321, and the other end extends out of the cylinder 321. A bolt hole may be provided on the cylinder 321 near the end where the sliding rod 322 is located, and the bolt hole connects the inner and outer sides of the cylinder 321. A locking screw 323 is screwed into the bolt hole. By rotating the locking screw 323 in either the forward or reverse direction, the screw can be moved towards the inside or outside of the cylinder 321. When the locking screw 323 moves inward, it can abut against the outer surface of the sliding rod 322 to restrict the movement of the sliding rod 322. When it is necessary to adjust the position of the sliding rod 322, the locking screw 323 can be unscrewed outward to separate the locking screw 323 from the sliding rod 322.
[0058] In some embodiments, a temperature sensor 500 may also be provided on the plate 310. The temperature sensor 500 is used to detect the temperature inside the plate 310 to prevent the patient from experiencing a stress response due to excessively high or low temperatures, which could lead to choking.
[0059] In some embodiments, a prompt panel 600 may be provided on the side of the vertical connecting plate 341 away from the horizontal support plate 342. A display screen 610 may be provided on the prompt panel 600. Simultaneously, an alarm device such as a buzzer 620 may also be provided on the prompt panel 600. The display screen 610 is electrically connected to a force sensor and a temperature sensor 500, and is used to display the real-time weight and real-time temperature of the plate 310.
[0060] In addition, the top of the lifting mechanism 320 can be connected to the bottom of the indicator panel 600.
[0061] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this application, and not to limit them.
